I would have expected a space betweeen the omega and K or on a differnet line , but then there isn't on a 4 band resistor.

A resistor marked 4.7K, means 4,700 ohms. The K is the multiplier for "kilo" or "X 1000"
3.3K =3D 3,300 ohms 5.6K =3D 5,600 ohmsJerry G. =3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D

But that clearly wasn't what he was describing, and was the whole point of the post ...

Not to mention the fact that the K (or M) often replaces the decimal point. So 4K7 is 4700 ohms.

As there is some confusion a picture of one marked 6.8 instead of 4.7

I don't think that there was any confusion amongst most of us, and Franc's answer is the right one.

In some contexts K means 10% tolerance (I think). Or is it 5%?
